And it lets you focus more on your business and taking care of your customers. Ending the Paper Trail with Encore's Electronic Check Conversion.
During the 1980s, technology revolutionized the payments world. No one uses a manual machine to accept credit cards any longer. Instead, merchants handle credit card transactions through EFT (Electronic Funds Transfers) using POS Terminals . Paper checks have remained non-automated.

Here's How Encore's Electronic Check Conversion Works

When a customer makes payment with a check, it is stamped as an electronic item. The paper check is then run through a check reader where MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) information is captured. The amount is entered on a terminal keypad. The check is verified against a negative database for acceptance. Assuming the check is approved, a receipt is printed for the check writer to sign authorizing the electronic conversion and recovery, if required. The transaction is electronically transferred through the ACH system where funds are debited directly from the customer's account and deposited automatically into the merchant's account the next morning.
